lets wait and see.

100% andrew is scum and should be in prison.

but they had decades of accusations and reports. our govt only gave a shit once it was revealed the state was the “victim”. They immediately arrested him.

lock him up, throw away the key.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Decades to gather the will to act.

Seconds to start lording their superiority over the US.

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 75 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He wasn't arrested for the pedo stuff, pretty sure it was state secrets.

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He was still arrested though and not, to pick a completely random example, elected president for a second time when no one had an excuse not to know what a massive cunt he was.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

No. However in the UK, unsure about other countries, whatever they find during the searches they are doing today will bring other charges in the future (if serious enough).

If there's an inkling of paedo stuff at all then they'll rearrest and charge him again.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Which they had to do after arresting Mandelson.

Andrew will sing like a bird for immunity and throw Mandelson under the bus.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 months ago

My understanding is that they got him on sharing trade secrets

[-] pressedhams 28 points 2 months ago

Exactly, nothing related to the sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The will to act is related to the sex allegations.

They’ll pin the charges on him that they’re best prepared for.

Either way, it’s related.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

He's about to find out like King Richard II, that it definitely is possible for a Royal to commit treason

[-] Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

But he's so silver-tongued and charismatic...

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 27 points 2 months ago
[-] Geobloke@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Probably just wanted to make him sweat

For those who don't remember, he claimed that he couldn't sweat

[-] Womble@piefed.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Thats normal procedure for non-violent crimes (this wasnt about rape/abuse/trafficing), arrest them, interview them, release on bail while they go through all the material they took in the search while he was in the nick.

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

It would be if that was the reason they arrested him.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 2 months ago

That doesn't matter when there's an excuse to rip on the US

[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

South Korea: That's how you deal with a wannabe dictator!

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 18 points 2 months ago

Oh, it's not being a massive nonce they got him for. It was leaking information.

Which is presumably why Epstein let him fly in and have a go on his girl collection in the first place.

We're hitting the point where fucking the kids is OK, but paying for it isn't.

[-] Damorte@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Yeah he's not convicted for fucking kids, he's convicted for fucking money. Which of course is a much worse crime as far as our owners are concerned

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

And South Korea could teach us how to deal with insurrectionists

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Wait until they are old, only do something out of fear of otherwise worse consequences, and even then never even prosecute the right stuff, give them a slap on the wrists never dismantling the precesses that lead to the problem?

Yeah, idk, I keep hoping for better, but we kinda keep "giving" rich ppl more & more power, so idk why would things suddenly, magically improve.

A bit like

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yuck. That's got to be either Houston or San Antonio.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Did I miss something? The UK arrested his one?

[-] Hayduke@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Yes, but not for the pedo stuff

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

It's still how you deal with a paedo like him, yes?

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah they arrested Andrew~~s~~

[-] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Just Andrew, Andrews is a treasure and, as far as I know, has not been implicated in the files.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

*rapist

Judge people for their actions, not how they were born

[-] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Agreed, it can essentially be an ableist term for those which actively fight against this illness to have a chance at a normal life.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I was looking for exactly this meme when I read that South Korea sentenced their ex-president to life in prison.

[-] mickus@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Hardly. They waited so god damn long to investigate. The first photo andrew had with that girl should have been reason enough to put him in for questioning

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I like how y’all turning Prince Pedo into a point of pride. Nice alchemy there.

[-] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fr👍🥳🥳🥳🥳

[-] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

The royal family must be relieved to finally have a member they can oust while acting like they're taking the high ground

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Would it be more accurate if the brit said "nonce"?

[-] gnutrino@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

We use both fairly interchangeably, although it should be spelled "paedo" for British English

[-] RelativeArea1@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

uhhhh... i dont know rick, this feels like its just being done to protect their status quo and that bitchass ends up in a fancy ass house arrest or smth.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

You can't divide us, asshole. Americans and Brits alike are against the pedos.

Not the ones charge... But the rest of us are.

Fuck the agitators trying to divide. Fuck WanderWisley. I don't care if it was just a joke. Plenty of MAGA like to say shit like that.

"Trump was just kidding"

Fuck you.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Didn't they let him go ten minutes later?
